Speaking of the word OST, I believe everyone will be familiar with it. The full name of OST is Original Sound Track, which can be understood as: the soundtrack of films and TV series and other films.
A good Korean drama needs three elements: a screenwriter with enough brains, an actor with online business ability, and an OST who can play. In the past two years, many Korean dramas have been able to obtain extremely high ratings and national discussions, and these three elements are inseparable from them.
What is OST that can be played? HY After listening to many OSTs, the teacher also summarized some tricks -
1. First of all, the song itself must be a good work. Of course, the rapid development of the Korean music industry in the past decade has also been recognized worldwide. Therefore, the production level of the TV series OST can be guaranteed.
2. The singer is very good. There is a type of singer in South Korea called "OST Professional". It means that you can often see their names on the OST list of major TV series. Female singers such as Hyo Lin , Yin Meilai , Gummy, Davichi, etc., and male singers such as Eddy Kim, Xu Ge , K.will, etc.
The singers who can become professional OST users have also been recognized by the producers in their singing skills.
3. Finally, it’s about the fit between the song and the plot. This is very important. To satisfy the first two points, this song itself is a good song, but OST's mission is to make others hear this song again for a long time after watching it, they will immediately recall the various scenes of the show that they have watched in their minds. At this time, this OST became a small microcosm of this TV series.
OK, let's return to the topic. I want to recommend to you some of the OSTs that I personally think are great in some Korean dramas I have watched in the past two years. Of course, you can also use this tweet as a Korean drama. It is also a good thing to go and see it when you have time~
2017 years "Flower Travels" : " If It's Destiny" -Ben
Plot Index: Four Stars
Actor Index: Four Stars
OST Recommendation: Four and a half stars
0 The singer Ben is known as the "OST Empress" in South Korea. He has previously sung OST for many Korean dramas such as " is Wu Haiying again " and " is the first time in this life ". "If It's Destiny" is a song that shows the sad love between Sun Wukong (Hi Seung-ki) and Chen Shanmei (Hi Yeon-seok).
Ben's voice is soft and delicate, which is very suitable for singing such songs that highlight the poignant and sad emotions. In the song processing, both the sense of air and language are maintained very well. Even in the treble part that highlights the power, the vocal cord closure creates a sense of power while still maintaining a sufficient sense of energy at the end of the sentence, perfectly expressing the "love blocked by fate".
Personally think this is a classic Korean drama OST. Maybe you have never watched this TV series, but you just need to listen to this song and read the lyrics carefully to imagine the artistic conception of the entire plot and picture. This is also the unique charm of Korean drama OST.
2017 " When You Sleep ": "When Night Comes"-Eddy Kim
Plot Index: Four and a half stars
Actor Index: Four and a half stars
OST Recommendation: Four and a half stars
"When You Sleep" is Lee Jong-soo partnered with the first love of the people Suzy once again created the peak Korean drama ratings. The TV series itself has a strong cast, and the script is also a premonitional dream theme. The expectation value is very high before the broadcast starts. This song "When Night Comes" is also the first wave of releases in the whole drama. When it appeared at the end of the first episode, it surprised countless viewers: "It sounds so good!"
HY teacher wants to emphasize here that I have really listened to the fantastic piano melody of the prelude to this song countless times!
Eddy Kim's hoarse and grainy voice with such an aesthetic melody is simply the standard for the male and female protagonists to fall in love at first sight. Eddy Kim sings a dream world with the narrative feeling that comes from the beginning of the main song .
goes to the Bridge segment, and by adding a certain pharyngeal reflection and the resonance of high-position channels, it creates a treble with full tone layering and penetrating power, pushing the entire song to a climax.
Once met in each other's dreams, and met like fate in reality. This song should be the love song between the male and female protagonists.
2017 "The lonely and brilliant god -- Ghost": "Stay With Me》-Canyeol/PUNCH
Plot index: Five Star
Actor index: Five Star
OST Recommendation: Five Star
If I say this song is the top1 in all OSTs of " Lonely and Brilliant God-Ghost ", I believe no one has any objection. After all, this song has reached the level of brainwashing of which TV series is as soon as you hear the prelude.
singers also use the form of men and women working without being tired: they invited members of the super popular group EXO, Chanyeol and the emotional lead singer PUNCH.
The arrangement of "Stay With Me" perfectly combines the fantastic electric guitar sound with the gentle and graceful piano melody, and adds dynamic and ethereality in the sad and hazy.
The voices of the lead singer Chanyeol and PUNCH are also complementary. As the rap role of EXO, Chanyeol has a low voice and magnetic voice, and is very sufficient in the low position. PUNCH's voice is soft and delicate, with a clear and clear voice, and the treble is also very penetrating.
The voices of the two people are combined to complement each other in the frequency band, which is extremely impactful in the hearing.
2018 "Come on! Waikiki": "Waikiki Wonderland" - Ulala Session
Plot Index: Samsung and a half
Actor Index: Samsung and a half
OST Recommendation: Four-star
"Come on! Waikiki is a youth comedy released by JTBC TV in 2018. The story tells the story of three men running a B&B in Itaewon, Seoul. There is a collision between ideals and reality, youth and love.
"Waikiki Wonderland" has a light rhythm and dynamic. And the Hit sentence is simple and clear. After listening to it, you will be able to sing "Waikiki Wonderland~" together and join in the same voice.
Although singer Ulala Session is not a well-known OST singer, you can hear from this song that he has a good singing skills. The entire mouth is open very well, the mouth is loose but the pronunciation is just right.
is also very broad in timbre shaping, and it is also doing a good job in the unity of high and low positions. Therefore, in terms of overall listening, you can fully feel the youthful uplift and freedom that the song wants to express.
2018 "Mist": Love hurts- Li Chengzhe
Plot index: Four-star
Actor index: Four-star
OST Recommendation: Four-star
"Mist" is also one of the popular Korean dramas on JTBC TV a while ago. Teacher HY watched other people's "Mist" on Weibo while watching the travel notes of flowers.
I went to see the OST singer lineup of this drama and found that there was actually Lee Seung-chol. After listening, I decided to recommend it!
Lee Seung-chul's "Love hurts" is the main OST of this TV series and a portrayal of the heroine Huilan's life story. The arrangement of the whole song has a sense of time since the prelude. In other words, it should be "a sense of story of a certain age", which is an indescribable heaviness.
, and Lee Seung-chol own vicissitudes of texture and unique and emotional voice and such melody are combined together. You can't imagine anyone who is more suitable to interpret this song than him. Lee Seung-chul seems to deal with the main song very casually, just like the heroine acts inadvertently when recalling her past pain.
But when the chorus sings a feeling of sorrow and sadness with the vocal state at the edge of the vocal cord, you will find that behind the unintentional pain is the pain brought by the love of the past.
. The above five songs are the good songs hidden in Korean dramas that Teacher HY wants to recommend to everyone this time. Of course, there are actually many Korean dramas that I have not mentioned (including some that are being broadcast recently). Mainly because I haven't had time to watch it yet.(doge face) Yes, I must have read every recommendation myself first, listen carefully to all the OSTs and compare them to the conscience recommendation songs! So please be sure to carefully savor the above songs!
So, see you next time!
